Pediatr Transplantation 2010: 14: E20–E25. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract: Development of a severe form of mixed‐type AIHA after orthotopic liver transplantation is a rare, but a life‐threatening event. We report a case of mixed‐type AIHA that developed in a child after hepatocyte and living‐related orthotopic liver transplantation for factor VII deficiency.
